lol, I know what you mean. When things go wrong with something of mine I don't stop until they're fixed. A few months ago my phone started playing up and I eventually fixed it and got to sleep at 6.30am - still managed to make it to my 9am lecture!

This should sort out the remaining SFC issues:

The chkdsk problem is an interesting one. On an NTFS system, the max number of hardlinks that you can have per file is 1023 but I can't believe you have this many hardlinks of aepic.dll on your computer! Your plan sounds great, it will break the hardlink and put the file back in place Give it a go, reboot and run a chkdsk.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of th
em.
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example
C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log

So I tried copying the file, deleting the old file, renaming the file copy, and rerunning chkdsk, but I still get the errors below. That is despite the fact that the disk edit program (see attached jpg) shows that the file is now empty.

and since they mostly had to do with the winsxs directory or vss, I turned off VSS for the volume, deleted the VSS files, turned off and removed all recovery points, and deleted everything in the temp and termporary internet files directories, but still no luck. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Sorry for the delay, I've got so much going on at the moment and an ever growing list of threads to reply to. This morning I had 34 tabs open, all with things I need to reply to, but I've managed to work that down to 10 now.

Hey, sorry I didn't mean to drop this. The guy I'm doing this for has become very frustrated and needs an immediate solution, so I'm rebuilding an old XP box to run his custom software and then I'm going to recommend that I take the other system home for an attempt at a quicker diagnostics and repair and/or rebuild. I'm hoping to put the other system in place on Tuesday afternoon. If he is okay with me taking it, I will do some more troubleshooting with you. Otherwise, I'm just going to back it up and rebuild it. Thanks for all the help.
